Kemi Badenoch: India free-trade deal is in final stages
A free-trade deal with India is unlikely to be ready to sign for when Rishi Sunak visits the country in September, but the trade secretary says "it's about the deal, not the date" and that "we are now in the final stages" for "delivering something mutually beneficial" to both countries.
Talks have begun for the 12th round of trade negotiations, with Kemi Badenoch visiting India for a meeting of G20 ministers this week.

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has spoken out about the Tory donor racism row, describing the media's "relentless focus" on the controversy as "trivial." Frank Hester, one of the Conservative Party's top donors, allegedly said left-wing MP Diane Abbott "should be shot" at a private meeting in 2019. "I think this belief that we should not be able to move on and accept when someone has made an apology for historical comments and treat them as if they are contemporary is a problem," she added.

Opening Prime Ministerās Questions, the Labour leader said Rishi Sunak's focus should be on the "chaos" facing prisons. Sir Keir Starmer said: After 14 years of Tory government, the prison system is in chaos. Does the prime minister think that his decision to let prisoners out 70 days early, makes our country more secure?" Mr Sunak insisted that "there are strict eligibility criteria in place" to ensure there is no threat to public safety. Report by Covellm.
